GOP Dismayed by Obama’s Strong Performance, Say it Was a ‘Mistake’ to Let Cameras Roll.

Think Progress

House Republicans were fired up and ready to go for their conversation with President Obama at their annual retreat today. According to the New York Times, members of the conservative Republican House Conference said they were “itching to quiz the president and present their policy ideas rather than listen to another lofty presidential address.” Although such sessions generally occur behind closed doors, Republicans agreed to open it up after the White House said it was willing to do so. However, after Obama’s strong performance,some Republicans are now regretting that decision. As Luke Russert reported on MSNBC:

RUSSERT: Tom Cole — former head of the NRCC, congressman from Oklahoma — said, “He scored many points. He did really well.” Barack Obama, for an hour and a half, was able to refute every single Republican talking point used against him on the major issues of the day. In essence, it was almost like a debate where he was front and center for the majority of it. … One Republican said to me, off the record, behind closed doors: “It was a mistake that we allowed the cameras to roll like that. We should not have done that.”

“Accepting the invitation to speak at the House GOP retreat may turn out to be the smartest decision the White House has made in months,” writes the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder. “Debating a law professor is kind of foolish — the Republican House Caucus has managed to turn Obama’s weakness — his penchant for nuance — into a strength. Plenty of Republicans asked good and probing questions, but Mike Pence, among others, found their arguments simply demolished by the president.”

This is who these assholes really are -as if we didn't already know.

They are COMPLAINING that THEIR president, the president of THEIR country handled himself well in THEIR meeting!!!

Anyone who respects the republican party is also an .......!

And I don't even like a lot of what Obama has done lately!

I dare anyone to watch it and repeat their right wing talking point crap (and thats being very nice) about Obama being dumb and only able to talk with a teleprompter.

Watch it and learn.

Did you hear that Fox news cut out of the exchange between Obama and the GOP house 20 minutes early? It seems they grew agitated with the fact that Obama appeared so reasonable and well informed and was able to show clearly how the GOP (and Fox News) were distorting his positions on issues.

Poor Fox.
